i get sad when i think of today's youth looking at the dodge tool in photoshop and thinking it is a lollipop. sometimes i miss the smell of berol markers. i wonder where that beautifully crafted mechanical drawing compass is. i still respect the exacto knife. i forgive rubylith, does ruby want me back?

i'm gonna spread some rubber cement on my monitor to see if i can stir up some olfactory memories.

the dripping became a constant flow. the flow caused a constant high pitch moan. very irritating. i plugged the tub drain to gauge the amount of the flow. time to fix the thing. i only have one wrench but it seemed to fit. i was surprised how quickly the handle came off. perhaps the water pressure beneath it played a part. the geyser of hot water pounded the ceiling once i moved my head from it's path. i fumbled with the handle thinking i might be able fight the spray and reattach it. yea, right. heaping towels on it did not deter the flow, just redirected it to the floor in a less violent manner. my neighbor and i found a master valve in the garage above the water heater. i wish i had found it sooner.

i have seen this happen on I Love Lucy or The Honeymooners and remember it being much funnier.

3 days removed, the master bath is now a rice field. what appears to be a terra firma now squishes under my feet. very cold brown water rises between my toes. wet socks are unpleasant.

so, if wonky code causes this site start spewing bits, and bytes please throw a few towels on it, and do not step in it with new socks.

ok, here i go. i guess this is my first official post. just like moving into a new house, the site is livable but a little touch up paint and a few personal touches are still needed before it feels finished.

i am unsure what direction this site will take, it is not a portfolio. it is a playground that i hope will help me focus personal creative directions. i have many, many ideas that i start but never finish. perhaps this site will be a motivator to complete some of those ideas.

the site is currently a mix of CSS and tables. ultimately tables will go away, but i am a man of limited inteligence. i am a visual designer, doing more coding and scripting than i am comfortable doing.

i wonder why you are reading this and how you found this site. hmmmm...
